Many times than I care to remember. I’ve spent a lot of time in the local emergency room.
Some of the highlights…
- When I was 15, I had my fingers closed in a metal fire door at school - then they shut the door tightly until it locked.
- About 18 years ago I stepped off a ladder into a hole sideways. A muscle was ripped from the bone, taking part of the bone with it (sounded like a gunshot when it happened).
- Last year I ran a boning knife into the back of my hand (the only thing that stopped it from going all the way through was the bone). It was in my back pocket (blade up). I bent over to check out a plant in my garden. When I stood upright, I brought my hand down on the knife fast and hard.
